Favorite OS

Despite all complaints, I dont vehemently hate vista, it has a few ups over our all fave XP though XP is what I m comfy with...linux looks great but I cant move in it ..and I do love the look of imacs os...never actually had one but all related os whether ipod or iphone r reeeeally niice

I have used all three (Windows, Mac os, Linux) I think all three are good. All the major problems with my computer I have had were because of hardware not my OS, but I thought they were windows so changed to linux, now I think Linux is probably the best choice once you get used to it.

I used all flavors of windows for like 10yearsafter that i used dual boot for 2years while learning how to use Linux now i use Ubuntu (now 4years) as my only OS since it's User Friendly and Debian compatible.now no errors ,no virus, no trojans, no unknown slowdowns everything is under control and i'm happy as ever willbe then only moments when i'm unhappy is when i'm forced to get involved with something M$-products (that brings back horrible memories )

Someone told me the Mac basically stole Linux's design and then "trashed it." He said it, not me.

i'm a Linux fanatic but i'm sorry there is nothing i found to back that claimwell about the Linux Desktop thing it all started with project "Athena" then it came down to "X" (i'nt talkin about saint-seya or Bt'X) witch was sponsored by DEC and IBMi don't known anything about Apple benefiting from project Athena or anything X-Window related but it is know that Apple used part of Xerox PARC witch doen't have anything to do with Linux (even if i'm a Linux fanatic )

I like Macs, but I still don't mind Windows. I'm not one of those people that hate Windows just because I've converted to Mac, or vice versa before I started using my Mac. I've used Windows from its 95 days so I have a soft spot for it, even though it's caused me god knows how many problems over the years.

worst OS ever VISTA i can't believe i bought into that crap. the most unstable and crap inviting OS ever.

and I've used Mac OS X and it's not all that cracked up to be. it is no where near as bad as vista seriously no where near but it isn't as good as windows 7.then again i doubt there will be anything as bad as Vista. lol

Window VISTA FOREVER!!!! Even Window 7 cannot beat it!

Mac is alright too.

But not Linux, No! Bad! user unfriendly Linux!!

if you said windows 7 or Xp i'll be like yay but wow just wow this is a very important question. how do you keep Vista from crushing every 5 mins or so.

only two more years for xp support. I like win7 for desktop/laptop and android for mobile os. I only use it personally though, not in a networked/corporate environment, so I probably use only 1/5th of its functionality. I'm not digging win8 until every desktop is touchscreen..might get it(for free) if msft does another launch party, otherwise i'll stick to win7.

Commodore Basic, Commodore Kernal or Windows 3 whichever works. If a more modern OS then it's Windows 7 which I am using these days. Did use Vista but it was too unstable and slow while the new Windows 8 have some serious identity crisis, trying to be both desktop and touchscreen friendly at the same time. And it just ends up being annoying.Pro tip from a non-pro: Keep them separate. Desktop OS for desktop computers, touchscreen OS for touchscreen devices. Add touchscreen support for the desktop OS but don't make it into a core feature we can't turn off. It's a pain in the ass when a certain mouse movement opens up an app in fullscreen when the actual app only takes up 1/10th of the screen while the rest is white and unused.
